1794
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
H Beard Print Collection is a 1794 by Albrecht Dürer, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows an old stone amphitheatre sitting in the countryside. The artist used fine lines on paper to make the scene. It’s a quiet view of a historic place half covered by plants. The artist dated it January 1794, so it’s from the Romantic era. That time loved nature and ruins like this one. The print captures a moment when the past met the wild. Look up more prints by A.B.
An engraving titled *Colossaeum or Amphitheatre at Nismes* depicts the weathered stone remains of a Roman amphitheater situated in a rural setting, with portions of the structure partially obscured by vegetation.

Albrecht Dürer spent his life in Nuremberg, a busy German city where artists traded prints like currency.
